Conservatives have increasingly sounded the alarm on how this could serve the CCP’s interests in the U.S. “Chinese students in the United States can become a major national security liability,” Sobolik stated. He noted that the CCP has effectively exploited Chinese nationals to advance malign influence operations. This includes repurposing research from American institutions for…
In a significant shift, the Justice Department has changed its rules to allow attorneys without prior immigration law experience to serve as temporary immigration judges. This change aims to tackle the staggering backlog in immigration cases, which currently exceeds three million.

In the wake of the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School, a young man named Robert Westman, also known as Robin, took the lives of two children and injured several others. Critical questions arise. The immediacy of the grief is palpable, yet the probing inquiry into Westman’s mental health and potential drug history remains conspicuously absent from mainstream discussions. This pattern has become all too familiar. After mass shootings, focus shifts predictably towards gun control and the shooter’s transgender identity, while the underlying issues surrounding mental health treatment and prescribed medications are often overlooked. Why is that? The reasoning lies…

Rosie O’Donnell, best known for her outspoken criticisms of former President Donald Trump, has made alarming claims in a recent social media post regarding the tragic shooting that took place in Minneapolis.

In her TikTok rant, O’Donnell stated, “A white guy, Republican, MAGA person… whaddya know… white supremacist.” This sweeping generalization serves to vilify an entire group based on assumptions rather than concrete evidence. Her argument extends to labeling the…
